Client Testimonials

I have been represented by Sarah Boulby for the past two years. I have nothing but praise for Sarah's work. My case involved complex issues revolving around custody, access and parenting. It was a high conflict situation. Sarah was able to deal with all the elements of the case with an incredible degree of professionalism and understanding. Most of the issues in my case related to children, so they were emotionally charged. Sarah was always able to not only explain all the legal issues, but also suggest innovative solutions to resolving problems that seemed intractable. Sarah represented me in mediation and in the initial stages of the arbitration proceedings, before my case settled. Sarah is very effective in achieving results; she has great strategic vision of the whole situation and a very "cool head," which is important in situations where emotions run high and the temptation to do something rash is ever-present. In addition to being very effective, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable, it was very apparent that Sarah is well-respected by her peers in the legal community. When she speaks, people listen. Her opinions carried great weight. She is a great advocate. Sarah is able to achieve concrete results in a timely manner and get your case resolved.

After a rigorous process of reviewing the most well credentials, reputable family law firms, and lawyers in Toronto, I retained Sarah Boulby. I can honestly say after two plus years of working closely with her in a difficult, complex, potentially high conflict separation that my respect and appreciation of her as a lawyer and human being have only been deepened by personal experience. She has unsurpassed knowledge of family law. She will wisely counsel you, and strongly and capably defend the best interests of your children and yourself. She has impeccable professional integrity, a pragmatic, ethically fine-tuned sense of what is feasible and fair, and masterful drafting skills. Her fees are comparable to the best lawyers in the field but given the quality of service, plus her operational sense of fairness, my assessment is that she offers comparatively good value. She is entirely dependable, balanced, and reliable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
